I have a 1997 VW JETTA GL AND THE IDLE SEEMS A BIT OFF.  WHEN I START IT UP THE IDLE FLUXUATES BETWEEN ABOUT 900 AND 1000RPM AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WHEN I AM STOPPED, BUT ONCE I GET GOING, EVERTHING IS FINE, EXCEPT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON.  ITS ONLY WHEN I AM NOT MOVING, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO EXPERIENCE A LULL IN POWER AND MY CONSOLE LIGHTS FLICKER WHILE THE IDLE TRIES TO STABILIZE, BUT IT NEVER DOES.  HOW WOULD I GO ABOUT FIXING THIS?
